Freedom – May 10

Personally, I think freedom is an ill-defined concept. What is more important – physical or mental freedom? This is the question I attempted to ask with this photograph. The serene look of this goat struck a chord with me when I thought about it in the perspective of freedom. Even though he was trapped within this cage, a relatively small area, his face showed that he was mentally free, and he seemed as though he was in a different place altogether. As for the composition, I really wanted to emphasize the negative space in the top right area of the picture, and I also wanted to include the lighter brown foreground to frame the photograph.
